Gooski's Bar

enter tagline

Gooski's Bar is perhaps one of the most well-known and loved bars in the city. It is located in the heart of Pittsburgh's hilly Polish Hill neighborhood on Brereton Street. Gooski's is commonly classified by locals as a dive bar, with a close-knit, no-frills atmosphere. The bar food is consistently above average with their wings, fries, and mozzarella sticks being fan favorites. Gooski's also has notoriously cheap, yet very strong bar drinks and an above and beyond beer selection, which is not uncommon for Pittsburgh bars. The bartenders are friendly and attentive and the local Polish Hillers are said to be excellent company for those who are just passing through for a drink, some finger food, and perhaps a friendly game of pool. Gooski's features live music for patrons to enjoy and also boasts one of the most revered and loved juke boxes in the greater metropolitan area. Anyone who enjoys a classic dive bar scene where close friends can enjoy timeless music and top-quality beer in a down-to-earth atmosphere will find Gooski's to be a priority place to visit.
